By Mike Hughes

RED CLOUD, NE (May 25)—With only two caution flags all night long, the racing action went quickly at The Speed Bowl in Red Cloud, NE, Friday evening, May 25.

Beatrice’s Jordan Grabouski found his way to victory lane in the IMCA Modified feature.  Hometown driver Lonnie Schriner was reeling in Grabouski but had to settle for second.  Troy Johnson, Brandon Blochlinger and Brian Calhoon rounded out the top five.  Heat race winners were Johnson, Schriner and Blochlinger.

Brett Behrends of Webber, KS, passed race long leader Chad Wulf in the final turn on the final lap of the IMCA Stock Car feature to win by a nose.  Heat race winners Martin Newlin and Jared Remus finished third and fourth, followed by Wayne Walker.

Blue Hill’s Jim Buss scored his second IMCA Hobby Stock feature win at the 3/8-mile oval as he beat Rhett Kingsbury to the checkers.  Heat one winner Delbert Selvage finished third, followed by Rocky Zimmerman and Wade Wagenblast.  Buss won the other heat race.

Josh & Chris Graczyk of Elm Creek picked up their first Cruiser feature win of the season at Red Cloud.  Heat race winners Adam Sidlo & E.J. Kothe were second, followed by David Theer & Troy Himmelberg.

The regular five divisions return this Friday night, June 1.  Racing begins at 8:00 p.m.
